First, if I am looping a section in a particular mix, when I hit the ESC key to remove the loop selection, it closes the open mixer window.

In general, depending on the window focus the ESC key either closes the currently focused window or triggers the assigned Action.
So in this case the focus is probably still on the mixer window (and not on the Main window).
Possible options to try:
- Clicking on the Main or Arrangement Window first before looping or pressing the ESC key - so the focus is on the Main Window
- Or assigning a different Key Shortcut (than ESC) to the corresponding Action via the Action List - by default ESC is mapped to the Time selection: Remove time selection and loop points Action

Second, the mix window takes priority over everything else - meaning if, for example, I open the FX window for a particular track, it opens behind the mixer - I need to minimize it and move it around to find what I just opened.

Sounds like the mixer window is pinned (via the little pin icon at the top right in the window title bar) and therefore always shown on top of other windows.
Unpinning the mixer window should help. See chapter
